Social mobile game for recommending items

Abstract

Disclosed is a social dress up game that may be a fun mobile app that may be played collaboratively with friends, using the photo capability of a mobile phone or smart mobile device. One player will separately take a picture of a friend, and then invite two friends to join. Each player will dress up one part or component of the whole body of the photo-head, body or legs. In the end, the three different parts will be merged into an interesting and unique image of their friend that they can also share with the game players. Since each game player would have worked on only that player's component, the resulting merged image will be a surprise to all players.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A first device comprising:

         2 . The first device of  claim 1 , wherein the image of the first user is obtained from a photo album stored in the first device and is taken by the camera. 
     
     
         3 . The first device of  claim 1 , wherein the selected desired pose is a current pose of the first user. 
     
     
         4 . The first device of  claim 1 , wherein the disassembled plurality of images include a head section, a torso section, and a leg section. 
     
     
         5 . The first device of  claim 1 , wherein executing the instructions further cause the first device to:
 transmit, via another communication channel, a request to a third device to electrically superimpose another image of another item on the disassembled plurality of images.   
     
     
         6 . The first device of  claim 1 , wherein executing the instructions further causes the first device to:
 transmit via the wireless communication channel, the reassembled image of the first user to the second device.   
     
     
         7 . The first device of  claim 1 , where executing the instructions further causes the first device to:
 post, via another communication channel, the reassembled image of the first user on a social network site.   
     
     
         8 . The first device of  claim 1 , wherein the catalog of a plurality of images of items includes a pricing and location of local stores having physical items in inventory. 
     
     
         9 . The first device of  claim 1 , wherein a request to purchase the superimposed image of the item is transmitted to the second device. 
     
     
         10 . The first device of  claim 8 , wherein the first user accumulates points to redeem an accumulated value for purchase of the physical items. 
     
     
         11 . A method comprising:
 obtaining, via a camera on a first device, an image of a first user;   selecting, based on a first input received at the first device, a desired pose for the first user;   displaying, on a first display of the first device, a superimposed pose of the first user that combines the desired pose with the image of the first user;   electronically disassembling, the superimposed pose into one of a plurality of images;   transmitting, via a wireless communication channel, a request to a second device to electronically superimpose an image of an item on each of the disassembled plurality of images, the plurality of images and catalog of a plurality of images of items presented on a second display of the second device;   receiving, via the wireless communication channel, the disassembled plurality of images with the superimposed image of the item; and   reassembling the image of the first user with the superimposed image of the item on each of the disassembled plurality of images.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the disassembled plurality of images include a head section, a torso section and a leg section. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 transmitting, via the wireless communication channel, the reassembled image of the first user to the second device.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 posting, via another communication channel, the reassembled image of the first user on a social network site.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the catalog of a plurality of images of items include a pricing and location of local stores having physical items in inventory. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein a request to purchase the superimposed image of the item is transmitted to the second device. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the first user accumulates points to redeem an accumulated value for purchase of the physical items. 
     
     
         18 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions executable to cause performance of operations comprising:
 obtaining, via a camera on a first device, an image of a first user;   selecting, based on a first input received at the first device, a desired pose for the first user;   displaying, on a first display of the first device, a superimposed pose of the first user that combines the desired pose with the image of the first user;   electronically disassembling, the superimposed pose into one of a plurality of images;   transmitting, via a wireless communication channel, a request to a second device to electronically superimpose an image of an item on each of the disassembled plurality of images, the plurality of images and catalog of a plurality of images of items presented on a second display of the second device;   receiving, via the wireless communication channel, the disassembled plurality of images with the superimposed image of the item; and   reassembling the image of the first user with the superimposed image of the item on each of the disassembled plurality of images.   
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 posting, via another communication channel, the reassembled image of the first user on a social network site.   
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 18 , wherein the catalog of a plurality of images of items include a pricing and location of local stores having physical items in inventory.
